We teach the course face-to-face for three days at your chosen location. The rest of your learning will be self-directed and work-based. You'll speak to your Programme Leader and access materials throughout the course.

Teaching and learning is a combination of:

• Presentations
• Group work
• Practical exercises
• Formative assessment activities
• Tutorials.

You'll engage in both small and large group discussions. This will help you develop your teamwork, communication, and presentation skills.

You'll also carry out independent study. This involves preparing for assessments, work-based learning, and problem-based learning. You'll identify skills gaps and aim to bridge these gaps with new knowledge.
